| A few years ago I started making a pan roasted root vegetable dish. Drizzle a cider vinaigrette over it. Fabulous. |

Mac and cheese is traditional in our family. I also like to do some sort of roasted vegetable.
My least favorite item is mashed potatoes but some family members like them, so I make them. But if nobody liked them, I would swap for scalloped potatoes. |

We like to have a charcuterie plate for lunch. A few nice meats that we splurge on like really nice prosciutto. Cheeses, cornichons, sliced cucumbers, nuts, olives, things like that. I include some brie and fig jam we get a good balance of savory and sweet.
Over the long weekend we make homemade Chex mix. For a twist on the usual dessert we love pumpkin cheesecake. |

My DS loves corn pudding - the 5-ingredient one which is such easy prep. Enjoyed by all!
I used to do a dressing with hot sausage and pecans my mom always served but no one left to love it except me. Grilled asparagus and broccoli We do a simple pear/apple tart with puff pastry for breakfast. |

Yes the corn pudding is so delicious! |

We add thin apple slices and celery. Everyone likes something fresh and crisp to balance the richness of the rest of the menu, and this works better than a green salad. |

I make the pioneer woman Mac and cheese recipe without dry mustard I’m not a fan of her recipes in general but this one is really good. https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a11497/macaroni-cheese/ |

In my family we do actually eat the green salad. It’s green leaf lettuce, citrus sections (usually grapefruit), red onion, pomegranate seeds, and vinaigrette.
